Nothing's missing now. My Ford van called for new plugs at 75K miles.
Technology has come a long way since 1953. "L.W.

That's a Ford, and GM, they're running seventy five thousand volts,
about twice Chrysler's coil voltage. Does your TJ still run, with the gasoline washed dry, cylinder walls?

Good idea, especially if you every go off road, I don't care how
good an air filter you think you have, some silicone dust will get in and melt a glass like coating, fouling the electrodes. Drag racing I changed them every run, that is if I wanted to win.

Only has about 37,000 miles on it anyway. Runs like a champ. It doesn't have
mechanical fuel injection, the fuel cuts off when there is no power to the injectors. Like I said, we've come a long way since the 1950's, Bill. "L.W.

So seven thousand miles of miss firing would be about a hundred
thousand in wear and tear? I guess you were obvious to the fact that Chrysler/nazis haven't upped there voltage, even with your individual coils. they're still firing at fifties voltage.

You'll also see the difference in spark plug gapping between the
high energy Ford and GM and your fifties technology TJ. "L.W.(ßill) Hughes III" wrote: > > So seven thousand miles of miss firing would be about a hundred > thousand in wear and tear?

This is listed as a seperate stand-alone service and > charge. What does the 4x4 service get you? Spark plug replacement is in the FSM at 30K. So is drain/refill transmission and transfer case. And check the serpentine, which is pretty cheap to replace rather than mess with. Pick up a Factory Service Manual from www.techauthority.com. Great investment. |

Bill, have you ever even felt a 6-cyl engine misfire? If you had, you would
know that mine is not. "L.W. ("ßill") Hughes III" > wrote in message ... > So seven thousand miles of miss firing would be about a hundred > thousand in wear and tear?

I surly have, this was the fastest V6 Jeep in Glamis, '77:
http://www.billhughes.com/jeep68sand2.jpg It was using your same twenty five thousand volts to fire the plugs. Seeing you haven't felt yours, I don't believe you can feel it miss fire, to your untrained eye it would probably feel like the new Hemi WJ switching between four and eight cylinders. And if you kept a log, you would notice a decrease in mileage.
